No such file or directory when trying to run "kubectl build"

[davidpanic]

What steps did you take and what happened

When running kubectl build --help Error: no such file or directory is printed and the command exits with the status code 1.

What did you expect to happen

I expected to be able to run the command

Environment Details:

Reproducible with this Dockerfile:

FROM alpine:edge

RUN apk add curl kubectl
RUN curl -L https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/buildkit-cli-for-kubectl/releases/download/v0.1.6/linux-v0.1.6.tgz | tar -C /usr/local/bin -zxvf -

Run the following to try it out:

• docker build -t buildkit-cli-test .
• docker run --rm -v ~/.kube:/root/.kube:ro buildkit-cli-test sh -c 'kubectl get node && echo === && kubectl build --help'

Output:

NAME           STATUS   ROLES           AGE   VERSION
[REDACTED]-1   Ready    control-plane   29d   v1.27.1

@davidpanic I'm facing the same issue, running from an alpine container.
Did you find a workaround for that?

Nope, I could never get it to work.
